Short Prom Dresses ~ Got great legs? Tips for going flirty short!
If you're lucky enough to have a great set of legs, have a look at the great selection of short prom dresses available this year. Short dresses in bright colors and fun patterns are a great alternative to traditional long dresses and gowns.
You'll find styles with fitted bodices and knee-length layers of tulle glammed up with sparkling rhinestones, to a strapless short satin ball-gown with a netted underskirt in a bright contrasting color for unexpected flair to a soft drapey sheath with a ruffled hem. All the glamor of a longer prom dress with lots of stylish flair. Feathers, beading and embroidery are featured on gorgeous short prom dresses for a more fun, than formal look.
If short prom dresses appeal to you, consider the following styles:
Classic Short Black Dress
Dress up one of the short black prom dresses with bright colored accessories for a great prom look. Go metallic with gold or sliver shoes and accessories for a bit of party glamor.
Bright Citrus Colors
This year, the brighter the color the better. Look for short prom dresses in bright oranges, reds, lime and of course, the perfect prom color - pink! Add a high-heeled sling dyed to match your dress and you've got a fabulous finished look that shows off your great legs.
One-shoulder Shorty
Celebrity glamor comes to the short prom dress with the one shoulder goddess 'style'. This is a great style to camoflage a large bust. Add a glam rhinestone brooch and a pair of sparkly high heels and you've got glamor to spare!
Salsa Mix
A variation on the salsa dress with an asymmetrical hemline is a great way to get the best of both a long and short dress. Add ruffles and a halter style neckline and you an elegance and fun together in one look. This style tends to lengthen the appearance of the legs, but make sure the short side is not too short for the occasion.
Shoes Must Shine
If your choice is one of the great short prom dresses this year, be sure find a fabulous pair of shoes. Your feet won't be hiding under a long skirt, so it's important to choose a great shoe to bring your outfit together. Avoid clunky heels and heavy platform shoes as they will add thickness to your legs. Choose a delicate shoe with slim lines to flatter you feet and legs. Rhinestone sparkle and bright colors are great when your prom dress is short.
